October 31, 2024
| NOTE 1: | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
|---|
Uranium Energy Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on* May 16, 2003.*Uranium Energy Corp. and its subsidiary companies and a controlled partnership (collectively, the “Company” or “we”) are engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including exploration, pre-extraction, extraction and processing of uranium concentrates, on projects located in the United States, Canada and the Republic of Paraguay.
As at* October 31, 2024*, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $248.49 million including cash and cash equivalents of $190.60 million and purchased uranium inventories of $64.63 million. We believe our existing cash resources and net proceeds of $31.04 million received from the issuance of common stock under our at-the-market offering subsequent to* October 31, 2024,and if necessary, cash generated from the sale of the Company’s liquid assets, will provide sufficient funds to carry out our planned operations including uranium mining and our inventory purchase commitments for12* months from the date that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, including a $175 million cash acquisition of a portfolio of uranium projects from Rio Tinto America Inc. with closing expected to occur during the quarter ending* January 31, 2025.*Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company will replace approximately $25 million in surety bonds securing future reclamation costs relating to the project.
Our continuation as a going concern for a period beyond those12 months will be dependent upon our ability to achieve consistent positive cash flow from the sale of our uranium inventories and to obtain adequate additional financing, as our operations are capital intensive and future capital expenditures are expected to be substantial. Historically, we have been reliant primarily on equity financings from the sale of our common stock and on debt financings in order to fund our operations, and this reliance is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Our continued operations, including the recoverability of the carrying values of our assets, are dependent ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our operations.
| NOTE 2: | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES |
|---|
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, they donot include all of the information and footnotes required under U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended* July 31, 2024* (“Fiscal2024”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made. Operating results for thethree months ended* October 31, 2024* arenot necessarily indicative of the results that* maybe expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025* (“Fiscal2025”). All amounts in the tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Mineral Rights and Properties
We have established the existence of mineralized materials for certain uranium projects, including our Palangana Mine, Christensen Ranch Mine (collectively, the “ISR Mines”) and our Roughrider and Christie Lake Projects. We havenot established proven or probable reserves, as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) subpart1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K1300”), through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for any of the uranium projects we operate, including our ISR Mines. Furthermore, we haveno present plans to establish proven or probable reserves for any of our uranium projects for which we plan on utilizing in-situ recovery (“ISR”) mining, such as our ISR Mines. As a result, and despite the fact that we commenced extraction of mineralized materials at our ISR Mines, we remain an Exploration Stage issuer, as defined by the SEC, and will continue to remain as an Exploration Stage issuer until such time proven or probable reserves have been established.
Since we commenced extraction of mineralized materials at our ISR Mines without having established proven or probable reserves, any mineralized materials established or extracted from our ISR Mines shouldnot in any way be associated with having established or produced from proven or probable reserves.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as we exit the Exploration Stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities, such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials, are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities, such as the construction of mine wellfields, ion exchange facilities and disposal wells, are expensed as incurred until such time that proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred.
Companies in the Production Stage, as defined by the SEC, having established proven and probable reserves and exited the Exploration Stage, typically capitalize expenditures relating to ongoing development activities, with corresponding depletion calculated over proven and probable reserves using the units-of-production method and allocated to future reporting periods to inventory and, as that inventory is sold, to cost of goods sold. We are in the Exploration Stage which has resulted in our Company reporting larger losses than if it would have been in the Production Stage due to the expensing, instead of the capitalization of expenditures relating to ongoing mine development activities. Additionally, there would beno corresponding depletion allocated to future reporting periods of our Company since those costs had been expensed previously, resulting in both lower inventory costs and cost of goods sold and results of operations with higher gross profits and lower losses than if we would have been in the Production Stage. Any capitalized costs, such as acquisition costs of mineral rights, are depleted over the estimated extraction life using the straight-line method. As a result, our consolidated financial statements* may**not* be directly comparable to the financial statements of companies in the Production Stage.

Accounting PronouncementsNot Yet Adopted
In* November 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic280*): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements under this ASU are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. This ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ending* July**31,* 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-09, Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU expands public entities’ income tax disclosures by requiring disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2024.*The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In* March 2024,the FASB issued ASU2024*-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. This ASU contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. The effort facilitates Codification updates for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. While the amendments arenot expected to result in significant changes for most entities, the FASB provided transition guidance since some entities could be affected. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2024,*with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In* November 2024,the FASB issued ASU2024*-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period, which includes amounts for inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and expenses related to oil and gas activities. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2026and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027,*with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
